This Skill provides an overview of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) for students from nontechnical backgrounds and discusses how AI and ML are applied in the workplace. The Skill demonstrates the significance of AI and ML in various industries and everyday life with engaging examples and discussions. AI and ML are pivotal in the 21st century, shaping industries, improving efficiency, and addressing complex societal challenges.

Essay Writing and Artificial Intelligence

The practice of writing and revision helps people develop research skills, improves fact checking and academic critique, and strengthens reasoning. With practice, using AI writing tools as a resource may improve students’ ability to identify potential biases, assumptions, or omissions, which can strengthen their ability to think about the importance of high-quality references. AI-generated content also may improve one’s writing skills, especially related to rephrasing, rewriting, proofreading, and critiquing arguments. New companies advertise their services daily. However, with so many tools, choosing a tool and having full ownership of one’s own writing can be difficult.

AI in the Workplace

This Skill explores the rapid advancement of artificial intelligence (AI) within the workplace environment. It pays close attention to the understanding and application of large language models (LLMs) and generative pretrained transformers (GPTs).
